We're lucky our insurance will cover our COVID vaccines, many people don't have that option, and public access is clearly falling short which should probably surprise no one.
Just received a call from my pharmacy to try rescheduling my Covid vaccine again for the 2nd time. For reference, I'm immunocompromised, so am eligible for the public vaccine, but their shipments of public vaccines keeps getting delayed. Private vaccine it is I guess. The UCP are useless #ableg

“a close look at her career in media and politics reveals that she is little more than a political opportunist whose primary ambition is wielding state power to reward her allies and discipline her enemies.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

New lows seemingly hourly now from Bruce McAllister. He seems to be attempting to intimidate and silence credible critics of the UCP's overtly anti-immigrant referendum questions by engaging in demeaning and disrespectful attacks. It's Trumpian thug politics.
Bruce McAllister is a senior advisor to Alberta's premier. He hosted the anti-immigrant Alberta Next Panels. He attacked Senator Paula Simons for calling out the racist referendum questions. Now he's openly supporting an extremist white nationalist party's racist anti-immigration policy.

Bessent's analogy is insulting, ridiculous, & stupid. Walking away from a deal that a bully is trying to impose is a quiet show of strength. We are not harassing or cajoling the US. We are ignoring their ridiculous trade offers and insults. There's no anger like that of a spurned and ignored bully.

Precisely this. They're yearning for the mythical Alberta of their past, not the reality of the province they actually live in.
Separatists constantly suggest Alberta has a unique "cowboy", "toil the land", & "rural" culture. Reality: - AB as urban (80% +) & diverse as rest of Canada - AB ag industry = about 2% of total economy. Ag is 1% of Ont's - The cowboy hat thing = just identity fashion like punk pins, blue hair...

Regarding the legal Declaration: "Elections Alberta said the language came from a previous version of the Election Act and will be removed from future ballot packages. Stoesz said voters who receive forms containing the outdated wording can simply cross it out before submitting their ballot package

I have NO regrets about leaving Musk’s site. But I wish I could extend my reach here, with Alberta’s referendum hard upon us. Don’t be shy. Please follow. Please recommend me to your friends. I post about Canadian politics, Alberta, Edmonton, and an absurd array of other topics! #cdnpoli
«Lorsqu’elle a quitté Twitter, Paula Simons avait près de 80 000 abonnés, elle y décrivait en direct les débats au Sénat et avait «un engagement incroyable» avec ses abonnés. Plus le temps passait, plus le ton s’envenimait. Auj., elle encourage ses collègues parlementaires à quitter la plateforme.»

And a pony for every child and a chicken in every pot. Separatists will try to convince you that there's gold at the end of their rainbow. Don't be fooled. Here's what to expect in the weeks ahead. 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/theline/...
